Play towers as the centerpiece of the garden: climbing fun, exercise and creative games
Play towers transform the garden into your own little playground and invite children to exercise, climb and role-play. Whether for younger children or active schoolchildren - suitable solutions support motor skills, balance and creativity. Safety aspects, available space and the desired scope of play are the main factors to consider when making a selection.
Buying advice for play towers - what to look out for?
Anyone looking to buy play towers will benefit from a systematic selection: Safety, stability, age-appropriate design and the available space in the garden are key criteria. The following points will help you find the right design and avoid typical mistakes.
- 1 Carefully check space requirements and location in the garden: For play towers, the space around slides, swings or climbing elements is important in addition to the base area. Sufficient safety distance from walls, fences, paths and fixed obstacles significantly reduces the risk of injury.
- 2 Age-appropriate structure and level of difficulty: Lower platform heights and easily accessible climbs are more suitable for younger children, while older children appreciate a variety of climbing and balancing elements. A realistic assessment of motor skills helps to avoid excessive demands and frustration.
- 3 Plan for stability and fastening: Regardless of the specific design, play towers should be securely fixed. Suitable anchoring in the ground and a stable structure are crucial to ensure that constructions stand reliably even with intensive use and changing weather conditions.
- 4 Pay attention to safety details: Smooth surfaces without sharp edges, railings suitable for children, non-slip steps and safe distances between struts all contribute to safety. A soft, shock-absorbing floor surface under and around play towers (e.g. suitable fall protection materials) can mitigate falls.
- 5 Determine the scope of the equipment: Before purchasing, it is worth considering whether compact play towers with a focus on climbing are desired or whether additional elements such as slides, add-on modules or swing areas are of interest. In this way, suitable combinations can be found for different age groups and usage habits.
- 6 Consider maintenance requirements and long-term use: Depending on the material, regular checks, cleaning or surface treatments may be advisable. If you think about the desired maintenance requirements at an early stage, it is easier to find solutions that suit your long-term options.
- 7 Appearance and integration into the garden: Play towers are often present in the outdoor area for years. The color scheme, design language and structure should therefore match the house, planting and the rest of the garden design so that the overall ensemble looks harmonious and adults can also enjoy it.
Popular play towers at a glance: Pagoda 2, Kiosk 3 and Dream 3
At Sanilu-Garten, you will find play towers for every need - from large adventure play systems to compact playhouses. We would like to briefly introduce you to three popular models:
-
Pagoda 2 play tower: This tower is aptly named - with its larger than average platform (approx. 1.4 × 1.6 m), it is reminiscent of a pagoda and offers an enormous amount of space to play. There is a large sandpit under the tower, ideal for digging and building sandcastles. Two swing seats are directly attached so that several children can have fun at the same time. Rounded edges and sturdy ground anchors ensure safety. The Pagode 2 is perfect for families with plenty of space in the garden and a desire for a versatile play area.
-
Play tower Kiosk 3: This model scores points with its versatile equipment and individual expandability. The Kiosk 3 has two slides - double the slide fun for siblings or friends! There is also an integrated nest swing so that several children can swing together. A small "kiosk" window or integrated telescope invite imaginative role play. The construction comes from the quality brand Blue Rabbit and is made individually for you. Thanks to the well thought-out construction plan and pre-cut wooden package, self-assembly is also easy. Conclusion: Guaranteed fun and expansion options - ideal for active families looking for something special in the garden.
-
Dream 3 play tower: The Dream 3 is the right choice for smaller gardens or younger children. This compact playhouse with slide offers a safe play paradise for children from the age of 2. The platform height can be selected (e.g. 120 cm) so that even the youngest children can climb and slide safely. Despite its smaller size, there is no need to compromise on quality: The Dream 3 is made of robust, impregnated spruce wood or optionally fine Douglas wood and can withstand Swiss weather conditions perfectly. In short: an ideal entry-level model that can be harmoniously integrated into almost any garden.
(All models are part of the Sanilu range and have been designed according to strict safety standards. They can also be customized with additional accessories - from climbing wall to steering wheel).
Selection advice: Which play tower is right for you?
There is a large selection of garden play equipment - the following criteria will help you decide which play tower is right for you
:- Space available: Measure your garden and plan sufficient free space in addition to the base area. There should be a safety distance of approx. 2 m around the swing, slide and climbing areas.
- Age of the children: The play tower should be suitable for the age and number of children. Low platform heights and gentle slides make sense for small children, while older children benefit from higher towers with climbing elements and more of a challenge. Many play towers can be adapted to growing needs by adding modules.
- Equipment & accessories: Think about which play elements are particularly important - such as a swing, slide or sandpit. Additional accessories such as a climbing rope, play telephone or roof increase the play value and can be flexibly added to many models.
- Safety & surface: Look for high-quality materials and a stable construction. A level, soft surface such as grass or fall protection mats is ideal, whereas concrete is unsuitable. Proper anchoring in the ground ensures stability during intensive use.
FAQ - Frequently asked questions about play towers
How do I find play towers that suit the age of the children? ▼
Height, accessibility and type of play elements are decisive for an age-appropriate selection. Younger children benefit from lower heights, stable stairs or gentle ramps and easily accessible slides. Older children often want more challenging climbing and balancing elements. It is helpful to focus on the children's current motor skills and, if necessary, to choose challenges that "grow with them" without overtaxing them.
What should be considered for the surface under play towers? ▼
The surface should be as level as possible, well-drained and free of hard obstacles. Softer, shock-absorbing surfaces can cushion falls and are therefore particularly useful around climbing and sliding zones. In any case, it is advisable to plan sufficient safety clearance around play towers so that children do not land in the immediate vicinity of walls or other solid structures if they jump or fall.
Can I use an assembly service for play towers? ▼
An assembly service is available by arrangement, which is carried out by experts and can be offered for almost all items requiring assembly on sanilu-garten.ch. Details such as scheduling and specific services can be arranged individually.
How often should play towers be checked and maintained? ▼
Regular visual inspections are advisable, especially after strong winds, storms or an intensive season of use. Loose connections, cracks, wear on moving parts and any signs of mold or rust should be noted. Depending on the material, it may be helpful to clean surfaces at regular intervals and take appropriate maintenance measures to extend the service life.
How can I tell whether play towers are suitable for the space available in the garden? ▼
Before making a purchase, it is worth measuring the free space in the garden precisely, taking into account not only the base area, but also the space around the slides, booms and climbing zones. For planning purposes, it can help to trace the planned area with strings or markings in order to better estimate the proportions. It is important that walkways in the garden and access to other areas are not permanently blocked.
What is important when using play towers with several children at the same time? ▼
If several children are playing at the same time, clear rules should apply, for example for sliding one after the other or climbing ladders and nets at the same time. A design with several entrances or play areas can help to avoid congestion. During play, attentive but not overly restrictive supervision is recommended so that children can try things out without being exposed to unnecessary risks.
With careful selection, you can find play towers that suit both the children and the space available in the garden. Take your time to compare different designs, pay attention to safety aspects and then decide on the solutions that best complement your garden concept and everyday play.
